Dejan writes "I have a few proggramers in my firm. They connect to server with login 'prog'. I don't want to give them sysadmin rights, because I don't want to allow them to CREATE, ALTER, DROP, DETACH, ATACH, BACKUP, RESTORE ... DATABASE, and some other things (sp_addlogin ...).
They have db_owner role for one of few database we have, with all permissions on the objects of that database. But, they can not use SQL-Profiler wich is a poweful for them to manage theirs applications, because they are not member of sysadmin role.
How can I avoid that.
Can I give them sysadmin rights, but to exclude some privileges."

No, sysadmin is just that - a system administrator. There is no concept of a reduced privileges system administrator.
